You know it’s a banger when we get the silent intro

It’s interesting how Nintendo handled the tutorial area. By hiding the sword and forcing you to find money to by the shield, players will inevitably learn all the skills to traverse their environment for the rest of the game, all safely away from enemies

NERD CHILLS

In 1998 I was 11 years old. I was friends with this kid at school and we would stay the night at each other's houses. I had a SEGA Genesis that I bought from my cousin for 100 dollars with several games and sort of dabbled in videogames at the time but I mostly was a play outside kid. Then when I stayed over at his house he had an N64. He had Mario 64, Bomberman 64, and Ocarina of Time. He was a bit older than me and it was his game so he was the one holding the controller but even though I was only watching, I fell in love instantly. I saved up money from cutting grass for the next few weeks and bought myself a shiny new N64. The stipulation was that I could only buy it if I got a game that my sisters would play also. I came home with Cruisin USA, a racing game, which I didnt really want but I knew what my next purchase would be. I spent the next few weekends renting Ocarina from a local video and game rental place and played up until the third dungeon. Then I finally went out and bought it along with the Prima Games strategy guide, not for hints or solutions but because it was filled with official artwork. The next several months it consumed my 11 year old life. I took the guide to school and read through the parts that I had already cleared at lunch and recess. My friends and I shared all the neat secrets we found and learned from one another strategies and clues. To this day those months are some of my fondest memories of my childhood. Let yourself be transported to Hyrule. Really take it in. I hope you enjoy the ride as much as I did all those years ago.

Kind of abhorrent that your parents made an 11 year old child save up their own money to buy a game for their siblings before their own game, but I understand that wasn't the point of the story and I'm glad you have this experience to look back fondly on nonetheless.

“Emotional moments, atmosphere, music” Oh buddy you haven’t seen anything yet. This game is an absolute masterpiece that still holds up today. I recently played through it with my daughter and she said it was the greatest thing she ever experienced, and she was only interested because of BOTW and TOTK

Could not stop smiling the whole video. This has been a long time coming and it was well worth it.

Finally, the episode Hylian has been waiting for

Something about the way you really take your time to engage with the world and revel in the small moments of exploration and discovery that have made this series so beloved almost made me feel like I was a kid again, exploring these games for the first time with my sis. I can't wait to watch the rest of this playthrough!

Im so ready to watch you play this one and i really hope you enjoy every second and every aspect of this massive game.

I never played any of the Legend of Zelda games myself - my Nintendo experience is limited to the myriad of NES clones we had locally. Mario and Super C specifically were my bread and butter as a kid. I can finally fill this void in my long list of missing life experiences 🤣

That is WILD to find someone who has never played Ocarina of Time! Looking forward to this, will be very interesting to see your perspective playing what's essentially the ancestor of so many modern action adventure games

It's been a little while since I've tuned into your videos since you've mostly been playing games I want to get to myself some day and I wanted to avoid spoilers. Feels good to be back! You're in for quite a journey! This is a pretty solid one to start with.

You're in for a grand adventure, so excited for you to play through this!

I am hyped beyond rational thought! I love getting to follow a new fan's Zelda journey.

I was 11 years old when this game was released. And then it was the greatest and still holds today, game ever!

Woah, the menus and text look so clean!

It's funny, but the way that I found this game is absolutely wild. It's actually mostly about Nintendo in general, but still. I am from Russia and Nintendo games were never really THAT popular in here, in early 00s there were mostly just illegal copies of PC games on the market. However, when I was like eight and it was 2011-2012, I started watching youtube for the first time... And somehow ended up finding a new super mario 4 people co-op playthrough. IN ENGLISH, a language that I couldn't even understand a single word of. I could onlu understand when they were laughing and for what reason, and somehow that was entertaining enough for me, and so I even saved the tab, and rewatched that video multiple times during the years. And, well, since I watched one Mario video, I got recommended even more, and I just kept on watching them, slowly getting to know more about Nintendo franchises. I remember especially loving TLoZ Windwaker, and Mario Sunshine and Galaxy. Back then I wished for someone to play those games on russian youtube so I could understand them. And now, years later, I only watch english videos. Nintendo might have unironically been my first ever fandom, and I am glad to be back into it years later, now enjoying it fully. Life is a bizarre journey

I am so hyped to see you Play this Game, I never would've expected that ! OoT is imo the best Zelda to start the series. You are in for a treat my man 😁

Awesome to see this. Glad to finally join you for another playthrough.

A blind playthrough of OoT in this day and age really is a rare sight. OoT is by far my favorite Zelda game in the entire franchise, and not only that but it's also my all time favorite piece of media. This game holds such an insanely special place in my heart that it's almost unreal how much is means to me. Not even Majora's Mask or Twilight Princess could get this close and they mean a lot to me too. I will say, having played OoT as a child for the first time and then years later again as an adult, gives the game an even more personal experience. At least in my opinion. It was both my first Zelda and Nintendo experience as well. And I still think that this game is the perfect entry to get someone introduced to this wonderful and fantastical franchise.

I grew up as a Nintendo only kid, so it's interesting to me that you're the exact opposite! It makes for great experiences where you can watch someone play your favorite games blind, both ways. Love it

I LOVE watching others play this game for the first time! It's such a nostalgia, as I can picture my 8yr old self sitting in front of the tv after school just playing this game for hours! Had no internet to help us solve the puzzles or riddles and the time put into these games is just crazy! But I love watching others go through the same thing, many don't just sit and play these games like this anymore! It's soooo refreshing to watch

The Zelda journey is truly special. Best game series of all time in my and many others opinion.

Zelda music is so memorable and nostalgic, you can go a long time without hearing and immediately recognize it when you do.

Not only am I happy that you get to experience the Zelda series. Not only am I happy you get to discover nintendo games a bit more. I am especially happy for you to finally experience the beauty that are nintendo OST 🎶🔥

It's incredible to see how intuitive these puzzles are. Oh, the web is bouncy, I must need to fall from high up to break through it! Oh, I have sticks and there's a torch, maybe I can use my stick to light the other torches! Oh, maybe I can use this lit torch to burn the webs!

Black bars on the side is less distracting than blue/red fire

I love this series so much. Watching a blind playthrough is a treat

The legend of zelda series has always been very ingenuitive. Some things really changed the industry (like putting a battery in a cardridge so you could save your progress, or targeting your enemy), and some things were a complete miss or just not ready yet (motion controls). But you just never know what Nintendo thinks of next. And they want their players to do that same thing. Just not with mods though, because then they will sic their lawyers on you.

Excellent

So happy I found this video. I really enjoyed it and watched the playlist to fall asleep last night. I'll be listening each night and watching while awake to get caught up ❤

It's so awesome to actually see someone play through the game the first time! I was born the same year this came out the caboose of my family, so when my siblings played it for the first time, I was too young to play it myself. But was old enough at some points to watch it be played through again and again. So, I never really had a true blind playthrough. But I'm content with living vicariously through you with this!

Unreal that you've never played this game but glad I get to watch it now

Dont know what it is but when i saw you were doing a blind OoT lp i got giddy. As many others said i also played this as a kid and it was utterly magical. Your imagination fills in the world where the graphics can't. And the lore sequence the deku tree gives you makes me emotional every time i see it. The triforce is SO important in the Zelda series and lore and to see it shafted hard in BOTW/TOTK was kind of a let down (and i enjoyed those games a lot, but they werent Classic ZeldaTM). Love thus game for being so mysterious as well. Why do the kokiri die if they leave the forest? Why are they all children? Those strange stones with a piercing gaze...where have you seen that eye symbol before? ;))) so many mysteries......... Well Mapo, you have your wooden shield, your little sword, an emerald, a fairy, and the heavy cloak of destiny on your small shoulders...time to leave the forest...see you next vid! 🌲🌲

This is probably one of my most favorite games in the world. It's got an amazing story and style that touched my heart when I was a child. The second biggest reason is that this was the one game I bonded with my older brother with when it came out. I stood in line with my brother at Walmart the day it came out, and watched him play it. This game made me want to become a great hero who fights evil and protects those who can't protect themselves. Ultimately leading me headfirst into military service where I put my heart and soul into every day. Just wanted to share my story, since after today we all share a connection through this game.

So glad you're playing this. My childhood favorite.

It is so refreshing to see someone genuinely reacting to OOT for the first time. I grew up watching my brothers play it and then getting to it myself a few years later. It no longer hits me as hard as it once had. Saying that, thank you for helping me remember why this was my favorite game for so very long! And i have to commend you on pronouncing some of these names. They baffled my mind for longer than I want to admit!

As excited for this blind through, I’m even more excited for the Majora’s Mask run after this.

57:50 "I didn't know what to expect going into Ocarina of TIme, but can I just say... Holy crap. This is... so fun, actually. And like I thought I would have fun, but like... I'm also like... Oh my god. Super fun." 1:10:21 "I think I'm going to struggle to put this game down! I'll tell you that much! This is heaps of fun!" 1:27:55 "I'm blown away. I'm really impressed. This is like.. so.. much.. fun! I've got a big ole smile on my face!" I'm glad to know that it's not just us 90s Nintendo kids and our nostalgia 😆

This is a treasure. I had no idea we'd get something as special as a blind playthrough of one of the greatest games of the late 90's (after FF7 of course).

the music in this game is iconic

This game has some of the most memorable music. My favorite is one of the temples later. Don’t wanna say much without spoiling, but it’s so beautifully haunting.

Can't wait for more episodes

I love seeing people experience this game for the first time. As my first 3D game I played it will always hold a special place in my life.

This game and Majora's Mask left a huge impression on my childhood. Even after these last two decades, I don't think I've ever played more imaginative and atmospheric games than those two. Maybe it's nostalgia, but for me the later zeldas don't compare.

I always named my Hero of Time with the best name i could think of to use all eight characters allowed. Superfly.

Your reaction to lighting the unlit torch is such a fresh reaction because probably every Zelda game has had it at least once in every game to the point where when you see it you're like "here it is again" lol I think BotW might've had at least a couple of classic torch lighting instances beyond the mixup they did with the blue fire torches.

The fact that you managed to avoid spoilers for this long in this day and age is a miracle. I can't wait to see you discover this game.

Thus playthrough is gonna be something special. Im so excited.

This game is basically the Final Fantasy 7 of Nintendo 64. Very important game for many people, this was the very first Zelda game I ever played. Maybe A Link to the Past would have been a better starting point, since that game served as the basis for every Zelda game from then on, until Breath of the Wild which changed everything for better or for worse. This is going to be a interesting playthrough because Mapo tends to be very observant and this game has a, trial by fire type of thing, or trial by water I should say?, or maybe not, we were dumb kids back then, maybe an adult won't have any issues. I wonder why nobody told Mapo that there's a PC port of the game. I guess it a bit of a pain in the ass to install so an emulator is the best way to go about it.

This game was my childhood. For me the best game ever made.

1:02:16 this story encapsulates the genius of Miyamoto's game design. if you listen to his interviews, he explains nearly word for word this sort of intuitiveness and interactivity followed by enjoyable reward he strives to work into all of his games. it's cool that you picked up on all the little gameplay elements and had these experiences organically. kinda neat to see

This being my first zelda game. I was a little young to fully understand the story, but as I got older and played it over again, you really get a grasp on the complexity of the story, and when you learn how everything connects to the other games it is baffling.

I remember having a Nintendo 64 and playing this game on it. I was 4 and at that point in my life I was content to run around collecting as many rupees as possible and leaping from the top of the small waterfall near the shop. It has a very special place in my heart. :)

I'm so glad you're appreciating the soundtrack! I genuinely feel that this has one of the most incredible soundtracks of any game ever, which is fascinating what they were able to do despite the N64's vast limitations, and the fact that in the past decade, I haven't played a game with as great of an OST aside from the NieR games, the Persona series, and Metal Gear Rising

Oh hey, this was also my first Zelda game. This game definetly holds up, still my favorite one.

imagine being 14 years old playing this when it was new. so glad to see you finally play this.

I was 10 when this came out. It was freaking epic.

oh snap, a blind playthrough of this?! exciting :3 This and FF7 are the two fundamental parts of my childhood love of gaming and iconic video games of all time. HEY LISTEN! adjusting the settings to speed up text etc could be handy!
